    Our politicians didn’t start a war during the entirety of the Cold War, either. You might have succumbed to the fallacy of thinking that when a weapon is purchased it needs to be used to kill people.

      Surely the European weapons and troops didn’t kill anyone during the Vietnam war, or the Korean war, or in colonies in Africa such as Algeria, or in the Gulf war, or in Yugoslavia, or the bombing of Libya, or in Afghanistan, or in Iraq, or very recently in Gaza.

      Oh sorry, forgot those don’t count to you because they’re brown people or Asians for the most part! Massacres and colonialism against defenceless people don’t count as wars ;)
